IT Project Manager - Cyber Security | Newport | Hybrid Working | up to £71,500

Want to take ownership of high-profile technology and cyber security projects where the work you deliver genuinely matters?

We're looking for an experienced IT Project Manager to join a major, multi-year cyber security and technology transformation programme within a highly regulated environment.

You'll be trusted to lead complex projects from initial concept through to delivery, working with senior stakeholders, technical teams and specialist third-party suppliers. This is an opportunity to get involved in business-critical change with plenty of visibility, ownership and variety.

What you'll be doing

You'll take responsibility for projects across the full lifecycle, including:

  • Leading complex IT and cyber security projects from definition through to successful delivery
  • Building project plans, milestones and deliverables and keeping delivery firmly on track
  • Managing budgets, risks, issues, dependencies and governance
  • Working closely with senior sponsors and stakeholders across the organisation
  • Managing third-party suppliers and outsourced delivery partners
  • Running multiple projects and workstreams simultaneously
  • Driving change adoption, training and transition into BAU
  • Providing clear, concise reporting on project progress and performance

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Experience within cyber security, cyber resilience, utilities or Critical National Infrastructure would make you particularly well suited to the role, while ITIL experience would also be beneficial.

Why consider it?

This isn't a role where you'll simply maintain project plans and produce status reports.

You'll be joining a significant programme of technology and cyber security change, taking ownership of projects that have real operational importance and working across a complex organisation with senior-level exposure.

If you're an experienced IT Project Manager looking for greater exposure to cyber security, critical infrastructure and large-scale transformation, we'd be keen to hear from you.
